Luke was experiencing digestive discomfort including nausea, reflux and had a persistent white coating on his tongue. His symptoms worsened with sugar or high carbohydrate intake. He had tried some over the counter anti-fungal remedies but they did not seem to improve his condition.
Luke had an endoscopy to rule out other issues and a stool test. He was working on general digestive and immune health. His Candida antibodies were high so he started on a protocol to address this with natural anti-fungal supplements and immune support.
After 3 months, Luke found his symptoms were much improved. He still needed to maintain immune support and stayed on a maintenance plan.
Key Findings:
- High levels of Candida IgG were detected
